Nothing else than S/O patterns. But allow me a little "chautauqua". 
The very idea of the static levels is that they are built on top of the 
former, thus the intellectual level is like the proverbial iceberg with 
its intellectual value held above the surface by the enormous mass 
of the lower levels. Yet, from the top seen everything is intellectual 
ice. That's the point: all levels transform everything below into own 
value (what's above is "alien"). Living organisms do not "know" any 
inorganic patterns, it's either a fit environment or not.. Social 
organisms (humans) see everything as useful or useless regarding 
their common cause, and as said intellect "looks down on creation" 
through its S/O glasses and see it all as preparations for the 
emergence of mind. So it's no lack of content, all existence is a 
material world perceived by a mind - or a material world having 
spawned mind, dependent on being a materialist or an idealist.

Yes, the 4th. level is SOM - all of it, every last bit! Minus the M 
which is taken over by the MOQ, that now sees everything below 
itself as Quality levels.  

Thanks for asking. Platt
